such that the photograph seems completely of that fleeting moment

I really like its rustic-ness and the simplicity of the form--like a cheerio on a barbell

Eugene Coolidge with Yellow Cat on Tea Room Bench, Wonderful Old Velox Snapshot cream bowl such that the photograph seemsI love a portrait of a man with a cat in his lap, much harder to come by than portraits of people with their dogs, and to my mind of a very different ilk. And I love that our man identified on reverse as Eugene Coolidge has left plenty of room for another companion or two beside him! Great note on the back, too specifying this as a yellow cat, and the location the "tea room" in Bristol NH. Charmer(s)! 4 5 8" x 2 7 8" and in very good condition.
